Manual audio control, external mic connectivity, record to low-compression video format.
There is no prosumer camcorder that meets all the requirements... assuming we have the same definition. Mine includes:
Lens 60mm filter diameter or larger.
3CCD or 3CMOS imaging chip array; 1/4" or larger
External mic connection (prosumers are usually 1/8" stereo so you need an XLR Adapter to use good mics. BeachTek and juiceLink a worth a look)
Manual controls (zoom, focus, white balance, audio control, zebra - and others) on the outside of the camcorder, not buried in a menu.
Closest I can get you are the Canon GL2 (standard definition) Sony HDR-FX7 (standard or high definition). Neither has 24p or high-speed frame rate. Both are miniDV tape based which means your computer must have a firewire port. Connection with anything USB will not allow the video into the computer.
Editing - on which computer? Macs and Final Cut; Windows and Vegas or Premiere...
Hi,
I am looking for a prosumer level camera under $2000. I will be shooting short films and promos. Some of the "must have" features are-
1. Cinema look- 24p
2. Wide lens
3. Image stability in motion
4. Ease of edit
5. High Speed(optional)
Also suggest me a good edit system for the same.
Thanks in advance.
